Ricardo Reports Two Years Worth of Bugatti Veyron Transmissions On order

Exotic car manufacturers have a lot easier time surviving when they are under a huge corporate umbrella. Bugatti is such a manufacturer, owned by the Volkswagen Group, which also happens to own Lamborghini (and is adding Porsche to the mix). No expense was spared in developing the Veyron – it was designed to be the world’s fastest car, bar none. It hasn’t exactly been a huge profit maker either – more like a gigantic corporate ego trip. The Veyron had an allotment of

Five-Door Fiat 500 To Be Called 500L

It doesn’t take a business genius to figure out that a dealer can’t survive on just one product. Especially a low-volume three-door mini car.
